E3 Metals Corp. to Become E3 Lithium Ltd.

Since its inception in 2017, E3 has evolved to become a leader in lithium ion-exchange technology with a goal of becoming a major producer of battery grade lithium products. With its business focused singularly on lithium, the name change comes at a pivotal time.

"Over the last five years we have pioneered the development of Western Canada's leading lithium-in-brine resource and a made-in-Alberta technology solution for lithium extraction," said Chris Doornbos, CEO of E3. "We are excited about this change; E3 Lithium better reflects the direction and focus of our Company, which is to become Western Canada's largest supplier of battery-grade, EV-ready lithium."

The Company has updated its corporate presentation which can be found on its new website, www.e3lithium.ca.

"I would like to thank the E3 team for getting the Company to where we are today, and I look forward to the successful future of E3 Lithium," said Doornbos.

E3 Lithium is a registered trade name to E3 Metals Corp. At the Company's Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 24, 2022, E3 is seeking shareholder approval to change the corporate name to E3 Lithium Ltd. In the intervening period to completion of the proposed name change, E3 will carry on business as "E3 Lithium". Upon receiving shareholder and TSXV approvals, E3 Lithium Ltd. expects to trade under the symbol ETL. A formal announcement will be made confirming the effective date of the formal change to the new name and trading symbol.

E3 Lithium is a development company with 7.0 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) inferred mineral resources¹ in Alberta and an NPV8% on its Clearwater Lithium Project of USD 1.1 Billion with a 32% IRR pre-tax and USD 820 Million with a 27% IRR after-tax¹. Through the successful scale up its DLE technology towards commercialization, E3 Lithium's goal is to produce high purity, battery grade lithium products. With a significant lithium resource and innovative technology solutions, E3 Lithium has the potential to deliver lithium to market from one of the best jurisdictions in the world.
